Oath Keepers including founder convicted

Like street gangs….

Like military armed street gangs who have a terrorist manifesto, bunkers and training facilities and are crowd funded

Unfortunately, Dox47 probably does not consider the FBI's data to be a "reliable source."

So my approach here is to give Dox47 the benefit of the doubt regarding his own personal experiences with the "Boogaloo" scene, but to question whether he is seeing the whole picture (which I strongly suspect he isn't).

(See also my post here.)

Good for you. I certainly wouldn't want to behave that way either.


Not all right wingers are "conservative." The more extreme right wingers are more commonly described as "reactionary" than "conservative."

I think it's highly unlikely that the Capitol riots were an Antifa false flag. There are plenty of people with genuine belief systems that might impel them to do the things the Capitol rioters did.

Are you aware of conspiracy-mongers like Alex Jones, for example? Are you aware of QAnon and "Pizzagate"?

Are you aware of the militia movement?

Are you aware of the "Patriot" movement (NOT the same thing as garden-variety American patriotism)?

Are you aware of the "Sovereign Citizen" movement?

Are you aware of the biker subculture, which tends to lean right wing? (See this news story, for example.)

And then, of course, there are the neo-Nazis and other white nationalists (again, NOT the same thing as garden-variety American patriots).


How actively involved in politics are you?

You don't think there are any actual troublemakers who have adopted the boogaloo look?

As for KKK flyers, this isn't an everyday occurrence but does happen, in a variety of places. For example:

- In Springfield, Ohio, according to local radio station WKEF, Wednesday, August 24th 2022
- In several neighborhoods near Columbus, Ohio, according to the Columbus Dispatch, August 12, 2022
- On the steps of an African-American church in Mississippi, WREG, June 6, 2022
- Marietta, Oklahoma, reported by a local Fox News affiliate (so it's not just the "liberal media" reporting this)

And, most likely, not every such instance gets reported in the news.

Well. FWIW, however ridiculously long it has been since you originally commented, I am not an alt, just new and forgetful, so I am not here much. And also, you don't believe me about which part?

I think it's fun how quickly people like to jump to conclusions. "Oh, you don't hate antifa so you must be a liberal extremist!!" Or lying. (For what purpose, I'm not sure.)

I am Autistic. Lying for fun on the internet isn't a special interest of mine. Arguing with people 'just for fun' or to be a jerk is not fun for me. Not my style.
